ZDNet describes a LinkedIn-based job-recruiter scam in which attackers impersonate recruiters (often using generic Gmail addresses and AI-generated message/signatures), request resumes, offer to 'fix' them for a fee, then ask for upfront credit-card information and disappear; the article details the scam steps, indicators to spot it, and practical advice for verification and avoidance (check email domains, contact companies directly, avoid sharing payment/sensitive info, report scams).
